Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Bayern Munich will renew their top-spot chase as Bundesliga action resumes with a game against European spot hunters Hoffenheim. This match will be played at the Allianz Arena on Friday. The hosts are 2nd in the standings with 38 points, but have a game in hand. The visitors are 7th in the standings with 24 points from 16 matches. Bayern went into the winter break four points behind leaders Leverkusen, albeit with a game in hand. As they start this round earlier than Leverkusen, a chance to cut that lead to just one point presents as an enticing incentive. With seven wins from their last nine competitive matches, they have some form as tailwind. That gets better at home, where they won seven and drew one of their last eight competitive matches at this venue.

Hoffenheim went into the break with a three-point gap to top-five sides. They can cut that gap to Dortmund as they start this round earlier, but winning against Bayern won’t be a straight forward event. The visitors had just one win to their name across their last eight competitive matches, losing four matches along the way. Even in the league, they won just once across their last seven league games, drawing and losing three games each in that sequence. The challenge is to recapture their form on the road where they won just a single point across their last three away league games – which came on the back of five straight wins.
